Rollie- the pit bull who died a hero

Stubbs Mac Crossposting:
Rollie is a pit bull who died a hero.  This is a real-life situation about how a dog saved a child's life.  The credit for the photo and the story go to Pitbull Ziegler who is a pit bull advocate on facebook and one of my friends.  We want everyone to know that pit bulls are not bad dogs.  They are not mean, aggressive, or dangerous unless they are FORCED to be that way by owners who abuse them.  They are protective, energetic, and enthusiastic and require a loving but firm hand to control all that enthusiasm, but they were the favorite breed in the early through the mid 20th century and were known as "Nanny dogs" for their protectiveness of children.  Then criminals and media alarmists ruined the reputation of the breed. 
Here is what Rollie did.  Now judge for yourself if this dog was a dangerous animal in need of banning or extermination or an angel sent to save this child:

Rollie passed away the other day after protecting a child from being bitten by a Blue Diamond Back Rattle Snake.

She was bit in the lip & given 7 viles of anti venom at $1500 a pop but wasn't enough to save her. She SAVED a child's life!

RIP Rollie- you were a true hero.

Now we need to save others (pit bulls) so they can be seen for the TRUE HEROS they were born to be!
